Another possibility is CPU heating trouble.
Turns off without warning as a safety measure for the CPU.
Usually its just that it needs a new coat of the thermal paste, but it could be non-working heat sinks too.

Aye but judging by the temps he posted and the type of cpu he has I am skeptical its over heating.
Check the event log, see if anything shows up.

Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:29 pmWell to be sure, When has the comp shut down?
If during a CPU intensive situation it could potentially heat up enough to show problems.
But yea, if its just doing normal-low profile things then it probably be a PSU problem.

I´d not worry that much if it doesn´t happen again. I had a similar problem in the past, twice. once was the power button being in short. And the other required the mobo to be replaced.
